Being unemployed since January 2009 and only having a part- time vending business, I was very eager to find a venture that would pull me out of unemployment and into a self-employment position.

It all started one night in fall 2009 with the 11:00 o’clock news on WGAL Channel 8. WGAL was reporting on hot dog carts in the city of York, PA. This intrigued my interest. Thinking to myself, bad economy and hot dogs go well together.

I did my due diligence on hot dog carts and decided to go for it. December 2009, I purchased an All American Chicago Hot Dogger Cart. That same month, I placed the cart over at B2B Baseball Academy for their sport events (Indoor baseball park).

In January 2010, I presented my new venture to the Manheim Borough Council. It was a unanimous decision in favor of the hot dog cart in Market Square - starting April 5, 2010. This was a big break for my family and I.

To this day, the hot dog cart is doing well. Thanks to all the patrons who supported Snack Attack and made this venture a success!
